[Alright Asgard ARE YOU READY FOR SOMETHING AWESOME TODAY??? Because somewhere outside in the open (probably somewhere in the Hel district maybe) there is.

SOME AWESOME FIGHTING GOING ON.

And by awesome I mean there is one red leather jacket-clad kimono-wearing knife-wielding girl doing the LET'S GET DANGEROUS tango with one dual lance-wielding love-spotted Irishman aka this handsome dude right over here also known as [personal profile] broduil yep. IT'S A REALLY INTENSE fight with lots of insane speed and crazy hits and all that good stuff they might as well be out of an anime straight from an action movie or some crazy shit like that. Granted it's probably been only three minutes or so but this whole thing is so cool that it feels like time is stretching for eternity!!

But this is TYPE-MOON and we can't have nice things. :( So in the middle of this badass fight of badassery there's a moment where she closes her eyes and sighs, almost as if conceding something. Certainly not this fight, right? Not a moment later though her head.

You guessed it.

EXPLODES. All over her opponent and quite possibly onto you if you were standing by close enough; it's about as messy as you can imagine it to be! What a way to end a show right... About an hour later though, there's a new post on the network. For anyone who did manage to catch to catch Shiki's hideous, gruesome death, she looks quite fine! Not even a trace of blood everywhere, and remarkably unshaken up for someone who just. Y'know, died.]


Talk about a let down. What was that, five minutes? Not really enough time to do much of anything, but I'll say thanks anyways. Dying was kinda shitty I guess, but it's not really dying anyways if I'm back. Still can't call it much of a fair trade, but whatever.


[ooc: For those that would like to GAWK AND STARE at Shiki's headless body, [personal profile] broduil will be responding. o/\

[At first he had just planned on passing by. He was getting used to the atmosphere here, and he's seem people train once in a while in that manner.

That was before that happened, and Atobe had to practically pause in his steps in shock at the event.

Shock, of course, is putting it lightly. After all, it's not every day he sees someone's head explodes. Scratch that, he's never seen it happen, not in real life, and it was failing to register properly in his head that she just--- it was really---

What. The. Hell?]


Just what did you do?!

[ excuse him while he wipes bits of head off his armor ]

I did nothing. Lances are not capable of such an attack, regardless of my own skill. [ unless they're magical bullshit weapons but that shit doesn't fly in asgard. he's annoyed, though, that an honorable (if violent) fight would be interfered with like this. ] As a knight, this is nothing short of offensive. Only I have the right to defeat my chosen opponent.

And heads do not explode for no reason. [He points out, eyes trained on his expression to see if he was lying in any way. His insight may have been dampened by the gods for whatever reason they had, but it didn't mean that he'd be fooled by a lie so easily.

He calms down after a while, though still tense, when he concludes that the man was probably telling the truth.]


What happened then?

That, I do not know. [ and if the bitter tone in his voice is any indication, he'd like to-- he could accept the 'victory' if it was a genuine result of her own actions, such as an ability pushed too far, but he has reservations about that theory. ] Given the events of late, I believe these gods may have interfered. She was far too confident an opponent to be expecting such a thorough defeat.

[ all those mysterious stabbings? the powers that be have been feeling awfully violent lately. he wouldn't put head explosions past them. ]

[He avoids looking at the area where she was laying, not quite into seeing the result of earlier's predicament and instead keeps his eyes trained downwards, towards Lancer's feet, one hand tucked under the chin in thought at the words.

So it wasn't something they expected? Then something from this place. He doesn't take into consideration the indifference to the actual death, guessing that it was pretty much something the other man was used to.]


Did something unusual happen prior to the fight?
